Long time ago i was with my mom at the sports club, we used to go there every friday to play, I and my sister, to the kids game zone there, it used to be fun till one day i decided i was too old to play in this zone ( I was 8 then ) we still went there to let my sister play and I always sat with mom the thing that made her uncomfortable me sitting there doing nothing like that, she suggested me playing a sport, i wanted karate but my father refused any violent sport, i refused football cuz i never heard good things about the coach there, i went for squash (and my club has the best reputation in squash in Egypt) but the schedule had dates during my studying so i couldn't, i finally settled in Tennis.
My mom and I went to the coaches and registered in the tennis school, then we went to buy a racket and three balls from the sports shop in the club and then we had a big mac me meal the three of us.
I went there every Friday and saturday, i was a very quick learner and i fitted easily in tennis, in the tennis school there are five playing fields arranged in levels the first one is for begginers and the fifth one is for top players in the school. In the frist one we were about 15 kids with one coach learning the basics and the names of the features of the Tennis play field, it didn't take me much time to go to the second and third one, in the third field the coach showed me a big man walking by and told me "You see that one he is going around the world playing tennis, one day you would be like him". It took me only three months to ascend to the fifth level, in the fifth field i was with only two other players aged 14 and i was the 8 years old kid, my coaches admired my performance a lot. After that i didn't go to practice cuz of my exams and i was ill before, i skipped the practice of Tennis that was only three hours a week to study some maths and some arabic, I missed my chance of going on in what i did best, finish the school and become a player for my club to get some extra marks in MATHS. I am still thinking of all the opportunities i could have if i kept on doing it, events that could have happened and the life i would have been living.
I told a lot of friends this story and they all tell me to forget about it and move on, sorry my friends I JUST CAN'T.
